Bazelgeuse Instructions
🕑 Added 2025-06-01 21:19:06 +0000 UTCUpdated for 2025 Rebrand.
Please check the pinned post for guides on acquiring the pieces needed for these builds via Bricklink!
If you experience any errors, the troubleshooting guide is also linked there!
PLEASE READ:
Bazelgeuse' primary scale color is a metallic dull bronze. Unfortunately there is no color in LEGO's library that matches this color.
As a result I settled on Metallic Gold for Bazelgeuse' primary scale color. This is a rather rare and expensive color option.
IT IS BRIGHTER IN THE RENDERS, IT IS MORE OF A DULL GOLD IN REAL LIFE.
I recommend users instead acquire the parts of the cheaper variant that uses dark tan and grey instead.
(There's also nothing stopping more experienced model makers to paint the pieces to properly match Bazelgeuse's color, but I will not provide any assistance or advice in that regard).
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!:
Bazelgeuse is heavy and requires an extra stand assembly included in the folders.
Bazelgeuse will not stay standing without the stand!
BAZELGEUSE GUIDE:
This folder contains 2 main subfolders:
CHEAPER COLORS
This folder is for users that wish to build a variant of my Bazelgeuse model that uses dark tan and grey alternative parts instead of the more expensive metallic gold pieces. This is not the model as I envisioned, but rather a more affordable alternative.
EXPENSIVE COLORS
This folder is for users that wish to build my Bazelgeuse model exactly as I envisioned it. Warning, this is an expensive build.
OVERALL, I was never really happy with this build. It's too heavy, you can't play with it much, it uses so many parts, and it's expensive. I recommend builders go with other models. In my opinion, Bazel looks best as a render.

Thanks for all the support!
Sorry this took so long.
I will release the instructions for the Kushala Daora revision next, then likely Jin Dahaad because he's been heavily requested.
